About the property
The five-bedroom, five-bath property built in 2001 draws inspiration from renowned 20th-century architect Frank Lloyd Wright, as mentioned by realtor Richard Testa of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services and Rich Testa Real Estate. Nestled on a secluded plot at the end of a cul-de-sac, this two-story residence includes a primary level, an upper story, a fully developed walk-out basement, along with a bridge linking the principal dwelling to a detached guesthouse.
“When you’re inside, you’re in awe of a nature paradise, because windows are all around you in every single room,” Testa said.
Upon entering the house, you’re met with a grand foyer featuring floor-to-ceiling windows beneath a double-height vaulted ceiling. This welcoming entryway leads into an airy first floor where various spaces blend seamlessly together—such as a convenient utility room, a large powder bath, a chef-worthy gourmet kitchen complete with ample storage space, a formal dining room perfect for gatherings, a cozy family room centered around a dual-sided gas fireplace, plus another versatile zone ideal either as a casual sitting room or dedicated workspace. The culinary haven boasts sleek quartz surfaces atop custom cabinetry and comes equipped with an island offering seating at its breakfast bar; nearby, sliding glass doors connect your mealscape directly to the front veranda. Meanwhile, both natural light floods through expansive panes within this multipurpose retreat and outdoor access awaits via a separate set of French-style patio doors.
Climb up the staircase to reach the second level where you will discover a secondary-floor area featuring a beautiful covered balcony that provides a view of the frontyard. This level also includes a separate owners’ suite, which boasts ample space for your wardrobe thanks to its generous walk-in closet and features a luxurious ensuite bath equipped with both a whirlpool bathtub and a tile-surrounded shower stall. Further along this upper corridor, three more sizable bedrooms each come complete with their individual baths, plus one extra full restroom can be found nearby.
The completed lower level of the house includes a large media room which opens up to the backyard and has another full bathroom. Additionally, there are two ample offices that might serve as extra bedrooms.
The living room on the main floor features a glass door that opens onto an idyllic outdoor walkway linking the primary residence with the separate carriage house. As per Testa, who mentions that the initial homeowner was part of a musical group and had a passion for music, they opted to construct this supplementary dwelling unit—referred to as the music room—to provide themselves with a place where they could play their instruments freely without causing disturbances.
The carriage house boasts a generous great room featuring sizable windows, along with spaces designated as an office area and a loft, complemented by a complete bathroom. Positioned above the property’s two-car garage, this structure could serve ideally as an in-law suite, guest accommodations, or even a music space. Encircled by trees, the exterior encompasses a sprawling 1.9-acre lot which hosts a substantial “low-maintenance deck” equipped with both a saltwater hot tub and a terrace.
Testa is hosting an open house for the property on May 18 from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM. To learn more about this listing, you can reach out to Testa via email at RichTesta@gmail.com or phone them at (585) 739-3521.
